Also, I have a steep hill to climb traveling home every time I get close to the top my AC center vents go to defrost. I'm not sure if these problems are related but they started at the same time (I also had to have my emergency brake cable replaced for Inspection).

I'd say you have either a major vacuum leak, or some problem
generating vacuum. (Gut says the latter, but I'd check the entire
system including the intake).

And, yes, the problems are probably related.

Oh, and never buy parts until you know the old one is defective.
